Stockman votes with his feet at the State of the Union

Steve Stockman walked out of the State of the Union address like it was a bad movie.

“Tonight I left early after hearing how the president is further abusing his constitutional powers,” Stockman said. “I could not bear to watch as he continued to cross the clearly-defined boundaries of the constitutional separation of powers. Needless to say, I am deeply disappointed in the tone and content of tonight’s address.”

The 36th District Republican, who is running against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the GOP primary, added, “After five years in office Obama refuses to admit his policies have failed. He instead demands we double down on the bitter class warfare that has left Americans jobless and hopeless.Obama’s plan for higher taxes and more spending is a blueprint for perpetual poverty. The last thing America needs is more of the Democrats’ class warfare that has left our economy a barren landscape.”
